Sorry I haven't posted in ages, I just finished my A-Levels and let me tell you, stressed was not the word. I had literally no free time since I was using pretty much every minute of the day either crying because I was going to fail or actually revising and trying not to fail.
So, anyway, I am back! Quite recently (well not that recently but lets pretend..) the Stila Eyes Are The Window palette in Mind came back in stock on the UK Stila website and I have wanted this palette f o r e v e r - mainly for the orange shade called 'Perception'. As soon as it came back in
stock I got it straight away and I have been loving it so far.
Product Info:
♡ I bought mine on http://stila.co.uk/ which is the UK Stila website I believe. This website offers free shipping to anywhere in the UK which is awesome.
♡ The palette itself is £30.00
♡ Comes with 12 different shadows.
♡ The shadows are mostly matte with a couple that have a tiny bit of shimmer to them (Brilliance, Imagination, Genius and Understanding)
♡ The packaging is super cute, a little square gold case which is pretty small and not bulky - would be good for travelling in my opinion.
Okay so on to the actual shadows - the exciting part!
First Column
These shades are quite pinky-neutrals. They aren't amazingly pigmented however they are still very nice to work with and I especially like 'Creativity' or 'Intellect' in my crease to act as a transition shade.
P.S - Sorry about the terrible swatches - most of these are pretty close to my natural skin colour so wouldn't show up too well on my arm.
Second Column
This is definitely my favourite column in the palette. They are all quite warm-toned and 'Wit' is really nice in the crease also. The star of the show (as is probably obvious) is 'Perception'. I could die every time I see this colour its so ridiculously beautiful! It's a really lovely burnt orange colour. This column has better pigmentation than the first as light colours always tend to be a bit less pigmented in my opinion.
Third Column
So the final column is where you're most likely to get your outer corner/smokey colours from to darken up the look. These are all really nice colours and I particularly like 'Imagination' as I love burgundy's and this one is super dark and perfect to finish off a smokey eye look with.
I have found all these shadows to be super blendable and easy to work with and also I've found they don't have much fall-out at all which is always a bonus! Some of the colours can be a tiny bit chalky but nothing major at all. The pigmentation on most of the palette is amazing however theres some colours ('Reason' especially) where it is lacking a bit.
On the whole I have loved using this palette and think its a great staple palette that would work with a lot of skin tones and would be well-loved in a lot of peoples collections! ♡
Thanks so much for reading and any comments/thoughts on how my reviews can be improved or anything please let me know! Also if you have any more questions about the palette dont hesitate to ask!
